Answer:
Substituting for a Variable
If you know the value that the variable is equal to, you can substitute that value in for the variable in the expression! Let's look at an example. Since we know that x=5, we can directly substitute or replace the x in the expression x+3 with a 5 to solve for y!
Step-by-step explanation:
I hope this kinda helps
Subtract 3n and then divide by 4 and you get n= 4
3(6)+8=26
I think 26 is the answer
Answer:
7 18-inch wreaths
26 22-inch wreaths
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the number of 18-inch wreaths is x and the number of 22-inch wreaths is y.
We know that the number of 22-inch wreaths sold was 5 more than 3 times the number of 18-inch wreaths sold. We can write this into the expression as:
y = 5 + 3x
We also know that each 18-inch wreath was $20 and each 22-inch wreath was $25. The total cost was $790, so:
20x + 25y = 790
Now, let's substitute 5 + 3x in for y in the second equation:
20x + 25y = 790
20x + 25(5 + 3x) = 790
20x + 125 + 75x = 790
95x + 125 = 790
95x = 665
x = 7
Plug this value into y = 5 + 3x to find y:
y = 5 + 3x
y = 5 + 3 * 7 = 5 + 21 = 26
So, 7 18-inch wreaths were sold and 26 22-inch wreaths were sold.
